Serena Williams Drinks, Bathes In, And Makes Lemonade With White Tears

Serena Williams just beat Maria Sharapova. Again. Because that’s what she does. Chew bubble gum, beat Maria Sharapova, and win majors. And I have no doubt that, as long as she doesn’t become too distracted by the emojis Drake is texting her right now, she will beat Garbine Muguruza in the Wimbledon final.

There is a particular type of person who will read that last paragraph and become very angry. Whose soul is nicked with every one of her victories. And this tickles me. I am motherfucking tickled. Because it’s almost as if Serena Williams was specifically and intentionally created with the intention of pissing off the most racist sports fans possible. Her entire existence is an elaborate troll for White tears.

Be from Compton? Check. Dominate a sport traditionally dominated by conventionally attractive and affluent White women? Check. Do this while being “so thick that everybody else in the room is so uncomfortable“? Check. Rock literally every hairstyle every Black American woman has ever rocked, and sometimes all at the exact same time? Check. Despite endless attacks on her looks and “masculinity”, continue to have some of the most eligible Black bachelors in the country (literally) fight over her? Check. Have an active dad who gives no fucks about what White people think? Check. Do absolutely nothing remotely criminal or even rude, making the tearjerkers scour the Earth for shit to criticize? Check.

The saucer she uses to mix the tears

The saucer she uses to mix the tears

Are you tickled too? Because this is some tickling-ass shit.

          I will thread them dayum eyebrows for her. I will knead the cramps out her legs and butt after every match. I’d braid her cornrows and then give her a sew-in. I’d change diets AND Gods.

                  You already know, being from Texas we already fam!

    • Illumina

      Her coach certainly does. I swear every picture I see of them during their down time his hand is always on dat azz….

      Can’t blame him.

      • KMN

        are they dating??

        • Illumina

          As much as his hand is on her azz I would assume so, LOL.

          It’s not mentioned much, but when she and Sharapova had that aforementioned blowup, where Serena said some things that ended up getting published, and Sharapova mentioned (during a PRESS CONFERENCE) that people were talking about her and her coach’s relationship.

          So yeah, unsubstantiated rumors are that they have been together for a while. But Venus and Serena NEVER talk about their private life, so I doubt you’ll ever hear anything. I just happened to get a peek at some photos (this was a couple of years ago), and they looked very much together.

          • KMN

            ooh thank you for that bit of tea…I remember hearing something about Sharapova saying something out of the side of her neck about Serena’s relationship with her coach or whatevs…but yeah they are PRIVATE. I was just doing a search on him and saw some very cozy pics of her that only couples or drunk college girls take

          • Question

            Is it true Venus got married over the weekend? She was playing Serena with a ring on *that* finger.

          • sh8896a

            Serena used to date Maria’s current boyfriend Grigor Dmitrov and she made a comment about it in Rolling Stone magazine. That’s why sharapova went off about Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena’s coach. He has been separated from his wife for years, but there are rumors that he and Serena are romantically linked.

        • miss t-lee

          I thought I read they were, and he previously dated Sharapova?

          • Illumina

            I know too much about this, LOL. I watch too much tennis and the analysts are gossipy.

            Anyway….you’re thinking of Gregor Dimitrov, player on the ATP tour, who was supposed to be the root of all the animosity. He dated Serena before moving on to Maria.

            • miss t-lee

              ahhhhhhh.

  • skinnynow

    Earlier this week we had a cheetah and a penguin walking through our office. The cheetah looked like every other cat (I can’t be bothered with you humans). The penguin waddled around the office. Both gave me the giggles.

    That was then. Now, I can’t get enough out of people who are actually pissed that the No. 1 athlete in her field beat the snot out of the No. 4…again…for the 17th straight time. It’s like watching “The Sixth Sense” over and over and expecting a different outcome.

      This has been a monumental week for salty white tears. Serena pissing off white media and tennis fans by her sheer brilliance on the court. Then we have, my girl Rihanna getting various white feminists crying very bitter tears, and spitting blood over a damn music video. Just beautiful

        • Lari Townsend

          I don’t think of Serena as a black tennis player. I think of her as the most dominant athlete in any sport today. Her race matters not one iota as to the magic she brings to the court. She is a phenomenal woman period.

          • L – Moderator #3541

            Touche to you.

          • http://freedomtwobe.blogspot.com/ Freedom2Be

            Lari Townsend, when we wilfully ignore a black person’s colour, we wilfully ignore that person’s lived realities as a black person. We whites can ignore race all that we want, but we shove it in black people’s faces all of the time with oppressive discrimination, micro-, and macro-aggressions. If black people can’t get a break from the fact of race, then we shouldn’t insist on taking a break from it, either. Insisting on it, in fact, is racist. See Eduardo Bonilla-Silva.

          • Carrie

            Please do her justice and think of her as a phenomenal black tennis player. I do appreciate your comment, but to leave out her race discredits that history is being made by this gifted, talented black woman.

      • jovent

        Black women, I am really beginning to be perplexed as to what route
        you are taking and what goals you are trying to achieve with your off
        key, strange and outlandish behaviour. You black women who see sense and
        who are not part of the ratchet clic had better start speaking out for
        yourselves, separating yourselves from the scum hoodrats and declaring
        openly that you are not a part of this contaminated group of cohorts.

        With the weave it is obvious, you are trying to look like white women
        to please your new father the so called white man. Many of us as black
        men now understand that the majority of you have fixed it inside your
        minds to attempt to topple the white woman and replace her as the white
        man’s number one choice for a mate. Now, I have already told you before
        that this is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN and the pipe dream
        of marrying a white man will only be realised by a handful of black
        women. For the majority of you, it again WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

        Weaves, blue, green and grey contact lenses, body, tongue, eye and
        mouth piercings, fake eye lashes, fake nails, tattoos, butt
        implants(yes, you black women are the largest purchasers of butt
        implants………………….and I thought that black women already came
        pre-installed with ample sized butts) and other attachments of fakery.
        Now, I do not see white women putting on afro weaves and walking down
        the streets yet I see you putting on European style weaves and trying to
        justify your actions by stating either “white women wear weaves too” or
        “this is a protective hairstyle”.

        Number 1, white women use EXTENSIONS THAT LOOK LIKE THEIR OWN HAIR,
        they do not use weaves. Number 2, if you were really trying to protect
        your natural hair underneath that mop top, why would you specifically
        use hair that looks nothing like your own? The lies have gone far
        enough, you are simply trying to mimic your idol, the so called white
        woman which automatically by your own emulations places her in a
        position of superiority. Yes black women, by copying and imitating the
        white woman, you are declaring that she is superior to you, that she is
        actually the queen and that you are in fact the peasant and the lowly
        vagabond.

        • CalJ

          FYI, Black women have NEVER wanted white men! So nothing we do, or have ever done has been to please THEM. Idiot!

          Now stop lecturing people, you tedious scold, and worry about your own behavior. Nobody cares what a cranky fool who wastes his time criticizing vast swaths of the population thinks.

        • BKLYNite

          SMH..thats bullshit..u have more black men who date white women than the other way around. the main reason u see black women wearing weaves is because they are tryna PLEASE a black man who makes fun of their NATURAL hair. So stop it with the wanting to marry white men because the average black woman wants a black man!!

          • Shelia Van

            That stuff is too uncomfortable to wear for anybody other than yourself. I have decided that I will not wear another wig in my life, in order to look good for somebody else. If I decide to wear another wig, it will be for me. So black man, if u want to be with me then it is what it is. I am natural and wearing it proudly. I might get it pressed from time to time, but as of right now, I do not want another straightner/perm on my scalp/head.

        • Lee Hill

          This is all BS, right? Pls stop because you’re exposing yourself as an idiot. Black women look good in nature hair, straight hair, weaves, whatever. All those different hair textures look good against the smooth, flawless brown skin of their face. Just because you don’t appreciate that, women, whether black, white or brown always want to change up their look. You’re exposing how little you know about women because most black women are not looking for white men. Get in the game, buddy, you’re so off base with this foolish screed

          • Shelia Van

            Most beautiful, natural, black women are looking for supporting black males. Who will love us regardless of the length or texture of or hair. I AM NOT MY HAIR. yes, I am grateful that my texture of hair is fairly manageable, but it still takes hard work every day and night. No, most black women are not looking for white or black men. We are waiting for a real man to pursue us. Believe it or not, most women still enjoy the chase (not stalking) just courting, And most men still know how to enjoy the catch I hope.

            • Darcampb

          What makes you the judge of any woman? Shut up and sit down, unless you’re applauding Serena.

    • http://Profiles.Google.com/darrel3000 Darrel3000

      Serena’s father needs to write book about his methodology and hand it to every black mother and father in the USA. I expect it would contain several volumes, then so be it.

      • She Boom Project

        He can’t take credit for much other than handing Serena over to his ex-wife, their mom, Oracene. Serena and her sisters are first and foremost Oracene’s daughters. He thought Serena was crazy and unmanageable, so Oracene trained her. He could write a book for teaching them pride and how to persevere but ORACENE is the one with the real influence and trade secrets.

        • Uncontainable Spirit

          Completely untrue. Give credit where credit is due. Richard Williams is the man. Can a man get ANY credit at all?

          • ReadU

            They both should get credit but her Dad was making sure that Serena & Venus trained well both physically and mentally for competitive tennis. I actually give him most of the props on that end! Also they stayed together as a family unit which I love. Fwiw there is a you tube video of Venus getting interviewed and the interviewer asked her why she was “so confident” a few times after she already said that she is confident on winning, subsequently Richard shut him down stating that he is talking to a child and she already answered him! Look at the video if you have not seen it because it pretty much sums up the fear of black excellence…

            • Barryfromkenya

              This alleged fear of black excellence is proven false by how well loved people like Michael Jordan have been

              • Bruce G

                For Serena, the hatred and fear of her success stems from the fact that she is dominating a sport which used to be a preserve of whites whereas there weren’t that many successful
                B-ballers who came before M Jordan. Also, the quality of the whites who watch basketball is higher (they relate to blacks traditionally without prejudice) while the whites who follow tennis are traditionally from a mid-income to rich background hence the fear of letting go”accepting that a black lady is dominating ‘their’ sport”

                • Barryfromkenya
